Question: In a trapezoid, if the lengths of the two parallel sides are 8 cm and 12 cm, what is the length of the midsegment?
Options:
Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution:
The length of the midsegment of a trapezoid is the average of the lengths of the two parallel sides. Therefore, midsegment = (8 cm + 12 cm) / 2 = 10 cm.
